I know, I know…there’s a lot of pressure during this time of year.  Some are stressed with buying presents, others are trying to make travel arrangements, some may be preparing their home for out-of-town family/guests.  Then there are those who simply aren’t having the best string of luck.  Aside from the materialistic issues of buying presents (which should never be a source of real stress since it’s the most unimportant part of celebrating the holidays), people are going through some very real sh!t around the world.  Not everyone is excited to ring in the new year or be around a lot of people…hell, some don’t even have anyone to share the holidays with.

Personally, 2013 has been very draining and challenging and I’m not really looking forward to the holiday cheer, but I know that I am blessed to be around my family and REAL friends.  That is the main thing that I am holding onto to help me deal with a rough patch I’m trying to work my way through.

Whatever the case may be, just try to find your own silver lining.  If it’s any consolation, the holidays are almost over!
